Sleek, well-made hardware ; Responsive UI ; Vivid AMOLED display

Priced too high ; Only 200MB of internal memory

Simply put, the Samsung Behold II is a fantastic full touchscreen Android phone that T-Mobile has priced right out of contention for most. Knock $80-$100 off the price tag and we're looking at one of the best Android-powered handsets on the market. At...

An all-around reliable phone with fantastic talk time of 4 hours and 52 minutes. Mini-USB port makes file transfers a cinch. Feels surprisingly light at 4.2 ounces. Easy-to-use D-pad makes a decent alternative to touchscreen navigation. Ships with 2-GB...

Menus are confusing, inconsistent and ugly. Unlock key is far too recessed to be of practical use. Touchscreen seems to attract more fingerprints than competitors. No good can come of that spinning cube

Sharp, responsive touch screen. 5-megapixel camera. Good battery life.

Sluggish. Buggy. Samsung's TouchWiz UI is a pointless disaster. Yet another forked Android build—this time for no reason.

Camera and Conclusions The 5-megapixel camera includes auto-focus and an LED flash. The hardware is similar to the original Behold, though the software is completely different. Here, Samsung's improvements helped, as it now functions like a proper...

Excellent camera ; Stunning AMOLED display

TouchWiz feels a bit cluttered ; On the expensive side

With a gorgeous AMOLED display and an excellent camera, the pricey Samsung Behold II will appeal to multimedia junkies with deep pockets.

The Samsung Behold II boasts a vibrant AMOLED capacitive touch screen. The smartphone includes more-robust multimedia capabilities, and its 5-megapixel camera takes excellent pictures. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and 3G support are all included.

The phone is expensive, especially compared with the competition. The TouchWiz interface isn't all that useful. Runs Android 1.5.

Of all the Android devices, the Samsung Behold II offers some of the most powerful multimedia features, but its high price tag is a major turnoff.

Brilliant display, sharp 5-megapixel camera, capable music player

Sluggish user interface, cramped keyboard

Another useful feature on the phone that should be heavily used by road trip enthusiasts and travelers is its integrated GPS. If you want actual voice-guided directions you will have to subscribe to the TeleNav service for a monthly fee. Otherwise,...

Wonderful AMOLED capacitive touch screen, solid build, feels good in the hand. Very good camera, good GPS and WiFi for fast data when 3G isn't available ;

Sluggish at times, TouchWiz hinders more than it helps

We love Android and we adore Samsung's vibrant AMOLED displays. But we could do with a little less TouchWiz on top of Android: it slows down the phone and it creates confusing redundant functionality. But if you're a Samsung feature phone user...
